low compression, unleaded gas, tiny carb, mild cams, and tons and tons of emmissions garbage that didn’t really even clean up the exhaust much.

Displacement beats all fellas, I have a Trans am Project Car at home, 6.6 litre, and you guys forget to look up the ft lbs of torque behind those not just the hp?

Apparently not in this case. Cause the 6.6 got smoked bad by a 4.6. I have walked many a stock 5.0 in my 3.0. Displacement is nice don’t get me wrong but it needs to be efficient too. Displacement /\> \*

stock for stock in that year, not much going on there…
but yeah, there are several FI 6.6 birds in single digit quarter traps, they’ve got quite a bit of potential.
